Like old times: Aaron Rodgers strikes early in his return from collarbone – Green Bay Packers Blog

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It took Aaron Rodgers just two possessions to throw his first touchdown pass in his return.

In his first game action in two months since he broke his collarbone, the Green Bay Packers quarterback hit Davante Adams for a 13-yard touchdown on the final play of the first quarter Sunday at Carolina to cap an 11-play, 75-yard drive. It tied the game at 7-7.

Rodgers had thrown 13 touchdown passes — most in the NFL — before he broke his right clavicle on Oct. 15 at Minnesota.

The Packers cleared Rodgers to return on Tuesday and officially added him to the roster on Saturday after he spent eight weeks on injured reserve.

Rodgers came out firing right away, hitting Adams for a 12-yard gain on a slant to open the game. However, the first drive stalled, and the Packers had to punt.
